Bar Brasserie HAUT — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We had a special occasion as our baby turned 6 months old so we booked a table at 17:09, as with babies its always unpredictable we were late but this was absolutely no problem as we were met with joy and got to choose a comfortable spot. We had our stroller as we guessed it’s a new restaurant may not have baby high chair so it was a good idea. The place is beautifully lit and the sunset is filling the room with warm natural light. The stuff is super friendly and very welcoming, explaining everything from the menu etc. great english too, thx! As in terms of drinks, the french red wine we preferred was not available which is a bit strange for the first day, but we could drink a Primitivo (Italian) also good! Nice non alcoholic Californian white wine too! In terms of food, it was a good variety of fish, beef vegan and chicken. It was ok - Decent portions, tastes fresh, interesting combinations, felt good. For a 5 star we thought the bread (and butter ), bread could be crustier, and food was good but some final touch felt like missing for the prices. Red french wine per glass would suggest a bigger variety for a french food menu. Would like to come again and try out more. The place is absolutely lovely we think it should get to the 5 star top place in town, has a lot of...

Quite good food, staff was nice as well as the place but the service and management of the place was really bad.

It took more then 2hrs between our arrival and having food on the table (besides the bread). We literally started to look for a place in different restaurants around after 1,5hrs.

Waiters were running around, kitchen didn’t stop but it was just not enough to make up for the mismanagement of the space and time overall - too little staff, too many guests or I really can’t explain how it is even possible.

We were very disappointed, especially given the generally high reviews. They apologized at the end that they were having issues but it was too late, damage done.

Issues needs to be addressed when they emerge. Bottled of wine, some snacks need to be offered as courtesy on house so people don’t starve. It’s not up to guests to chase if we can get something so we...

We were taking a day trip from Amsterdam, and after walking around town, stopped in for a mid-afternoon break, and shared a ham and cheese baguette sandwich, and a Cafe Gourmand. The baguette was very good with lots of good butter, and with a little side salad/garnish with a very tasty dressing. The Cappuccino and sweets were very good, including a Weespmop cookie, some meringues, bon-bons, a macaron, and a little crème brûlée. Our waitress was super sweet, and apologetic for the fact that there was a frequent bad odour in the restaurant due to them working on a drain issue. That sort of thing happens, but would not prevent me from returning to dine...
